Krannich Mark W. Brunson Major Professor Committee Member Douglas B. Jackson-Smith Sandra Marquart-Pyatt Committee Member Committee Member Peggy Petrzelka Byron R. Burnham Committee Member Dean of Graduate Studies UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY Logan, Utah 2009 ii Copyright © Carla Koons Trentelman 2009 All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT “Big, smelly, salty lake that I call home”: Sense of Place with a Mixed Amenity Setting by Carla Koons Trentelman, Doctor of Philosophy Utah State University, 2009 Major Professor: Dr. Richard S. Krannich Department: Sociology Drawing from literature on place, this dissertation studies place dynamics in relationships between people and a mixed amenity place. Using Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, as a case study, I use a social constructionist approach to examine the sense of place held by those who live nearest to the lake. I analyze qualitative interview and focus group data as well as quantitative survey data to discern the meanings the lake holds for these nearest neighbors and to examine distinctions between people who see the lake differently. This study is relatively unique in its examination of relationships with a mixed amenity place, as prior place research has focused on high amenity places such as resort locations. A number of distinctions were found. Place attachment to GSL was less widespread than seen with high amenity places, and there were some residents for whom the lake held negative meanings. The lake held multiple meanings for many research participants, including combinations that appeared incongruous in mixing both positive iv and negative lake images. Some participants appeared to have no sense of the lake. Additionally, there was evidence of social stigma related to living near the lake. This study can help natural resource managers, community leaders, and policy makers to better understand the relationships between local residents and GSL, which prior place research has shown to be a useful indicator of environmental concern, commitment to the place, and support for resource management. There were many things residents did not appear to know about the lake, including, for example, the natural workings of the lake ecosystem, the effect built features have had on this ecosystem, and the economic contributions to local communities, counties, and the state from lake- related enterprises. Also of interest, these nearest neighbors talked about how changes related to the lake have affected them. This study provides justification for further work on people-place dynamics with mixed amenity places, as it revealed dynamics not seen in research on higher amenity settings. The study also demonstrates the need for continued social science research on GSL, to provide further understanding of people’s relationships with this important place. (617 pages) v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There has been much to be grateful for over the lifespan of this project. The only way I could acknowledge everyone who deserves it would be for this to be the length of yet another chapter, and this dissertation is far more than lengthy enough. I will attempt to strike a balance between brevity and the enormity of my appreciation. First, I am appreciative of those nearest neighbors of Great Salt Lake who were kind enough to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns about the lake. My thanks, also, to the resource managers and county commissioners I interviewed. This project could not have been completed without their willingness and generosity. FRIENDS of Great Salt Lake provided funding for the focus groups, as well as emotional support for my GSL work more broadly. The Rural Sociological Society generously funded a good portion of the survey research. I was immensely privileged to work with a dynamic team of research assistants, Kyle, Lani, Nallely, Jessica, Caitlin, and Jill, whose hard work, talent and charm produced an impressive survey response rate. Eric Ewert spent far too many hours working on the lovely series of maps in this dissertation, and has been persistent in his support and encouragement. A most patient academic team worked to keep me on task. The reader can only imagine the reams of paper my advisor, Rick Krannich, dealt with, working through revision after revision of this verbose work. Rick, I have far too much gratitude to do it justice here, suffice it to say I greatly appreciate all your help, support, and mentoring. I’m delighted and proud to be “one of Krannich’s.” The rest of my committee members were patient both with the long stretches vi between my updates and the long page count when I had material for them. Peg Petrzelka and Doug Jackson-Smith have been there for me from the start of this grad school adventure, working with me through two projects as well as coursework, not to mention their role as mentors. Mark Brunson’s familiarity with the place literature and with Great Salt Lake helped keep me on track, and Sandy Marquart-Pyatt’s seeing this tome as an opportunity to learn about the lake made her feedback fun (and yes, I promise to use the amazing stats stuff you taught me in future work…). Two other scholars played substantial roles in this project. Michael Patterson’s review of a journal manuscript pushed me to a deeper level of academic rigor than I had experienced before, and Michael Toth raised me on Bergerian perspectives starting with my intro class in 1980. Much of the literature review here was my working through the challenges they presented to me. My thanks to the other faculty involved in my training at USU, for teaching and challenging me, for their support, and for being role models and mentors. Special thanks to Christy Glass, Mike Toney, Susie Mannon, and Brad Parlin. And Eddy Berry, you’re the best mentor I never took a class from! I appreciated the women behind the scenes: Dorrie, whose warm welcome made a lasting impression, Pat, my grad school mom when I needed one, the humble and lovable Ann, and G, who has gone considerably above and beyond in her help with this dissertation. Thanks also to my fellow grad students, especially Chris, Lisa, Brian, and Becca, for helping with my sanity these last few years. I cannot leave this academic theme without also acknowledging my friends and colleagues at Weber State University (home of Carla’s Dream Job), who have provided tremendous support. Folks from the Women’s Studies program, as well as the vii Department of Sociology and Anthropology, have been cheering me on for a very long time. In addition to my colleagues in my department, special thanks to Dan and Alice, Kathryn, Gloria, Diane and Wangaré, and to the Great Salt Lake Interest Group. And although my loved ones may have thought I forgot this fact in the last eight years, my life is not just about the academic world. I could not have completed this project without the cheerleading, support, tolerance, patience and love from my dear friends and family. Irish has been there for me on a daily basis and put up with even more rambling than Rick did. Jan has been my loyal best friend, even when she rarely heard from me. Many other friends provided sorely needed encouragement and kindness. My parents have very patiently waited to get a daughter back, all the while telling me how proud they are. I’m proud to be your daughter! My four kids, Ben and Crystal and Jeremy and Dee, have done much to keep me sane. Time with them kept my cup full, nurturing my heart and soul. My sons made me laugh hard and long no matter how stressed out I was, and brought these amazing women into my life, showing me how delightful it is to have daughters. Gimli the Wonder Corgi, and the granddogs, Savini, Sadie, and Mary, have brought me much laughter as well. By far the largest debt I owe and the deepest appreciation I hold is to my husband, my sweet, wonderful Charlie. Eight years is a long time to be a grad school widower. Thank you for all your support and help and patience and love. You are my rock. I’m excited for this next leg of our adventure together! And finally, my thanks to Terry Tempest Williams. Refuge opened my eyes—and heart—to Great Salt Lake.

Solar terrestrial exploration can help estab- lish the physical cause and effect relationships between solar stimuli and terrestrial responses. When these relationships are understood, science will have an essential tool for weather and climate predic- tion." This paragraph, written by Robert D. Chapman as part of a proposal for a five-year plan for Solar Terrestrial Programs in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is an indication of the present status of Sun-weather/climate investigations. The literature on this subject covers a period of more than 100 years, and many distinguished scientists have contributed. Never- theless, until very recently, Sun-weather/climate investigations have not been taken very seriously by many scientists.
